Council members will look at a plan to move more than $1.7 million from other projects that the city's Public Works director says had either finished with money left over or would not be starting in 2014.

"We're not robbing from or delaying anything," director Mike Gable said. "We're trying to make the best use of the funding."

Crews have already started resurfacing roads throughout the city. Fifth Avenue was milled down early Monday morning between Beechwood Boulevard and Shady Avenue. There is currently only enough money to resurface 28 miles of roads in the city, but if council approves the extra funding, crews could get up to 40 miles.

The work is expected to last through August, but in the short term, Public Works is focused on the 26.2-mile route that thousands of runners will travel during the Pittsburgh Marathon this weekend.

"Right now the concentration is on the marathon this Sunday. That is some of the roads we'll be milling and repaving," Gable said.

He expects the works on those roads to be finished in time for the race.

Some city drivers expressed concern that streets have been milled and not paved, making them difficult to drive on.

Pittsburgh Chief Operations Officer Guy Costa said, "Sometimes the milling contractor gets too far ahead of the paving contractor. So, we're adding more paving crews to keep up with it. Beginning Thursday, you'll see four paving crews out there and one or two milling crews."

Costa says one of the bumpiest roads -- Fifth Avenue in Shadyside -- should be paved and finished by Friday, depending on the weather.
